Re: Why in God's name is there no post game thread? Pacers beat Knicks

Not a week ago on this board I was talking about how the Pacers couldn't beat the Knicks in the playoffs and someone (I think Rexnom maybe?) blew up my argument and pretty much predicted everything that happened in this game. So props there to a person who is possibly Rexnom, as well as more proof that I don't know anything about basketball.

On the Knicks side, I liked how hard Melo was playing even when it got out of hand. In Denver I think he would have coasted but he was doing a good job, good effort til the end.

Lance is awesome, I really wish sometimes I could afford lower level tickets to hear him talk trash to the other team would probably crack me up. He's pretty damn good at getting under other players' skin it's so funny. I told my friend that I went to the game with that I guarantee that someone was getting ejected tonight, not that much of a shocker that it ended up being JR.

I really hope peck has one of his odd thoughts extreme homer edition type posts tonight you can't possibly have anything bad to say about tonight that was a lot of fun.

If we dont get an Odd Thought post at all, I'm rioting....

Paul George's perimeter defense really is amazing. So many times he pinned Melo to a corner and forced him to take a bad shot, its amazing. I'm not sure if its intuition or not, but he didnt bite on any fakes, always kept supreme balance and read with ease where Melo wanted to go. It was pretty incredible to watch.

That said, bigger matchups like Melo and Bron seem to pose a threat on the low block where he isn't nearly as effective.

After seeing JR Smith and Lance Stephenson beef on the court, I remembered that at one point Lance said on twitter that JR smith deserved to be an all-star this year. I rushed to Stephenson's twitter to find this tweet..............It is no longer there.

The lesson of this story: Lance Stephenson makes no friends on the basketball court.

I know Frank has mentioned Stephenson and George playing to cute sometimes, but does anyone else love it? I love the passing and swagger you see from good passers (think Bird/Magic, the greatest passers ever IMO) and I see it with those two running the floor. It gets the crowd and team involved. If it's controlled flash I think it's wonderful and I hope they keep it up, honestly.

Yep, good stuff. I am sure Frank loves it too - when it goes right.

Re: Why in God's name is there no post game thread? Pacers beat Knicks

This is probably a bad place to put this, and will surely be thrown into the "knee-jerk reaction" pile, but I really think this team can win the title this year. They have a certain swagger and confidence that winning teams have. I have only watched 15-20 of the games so far, but they have "it."

I think that we can make it to the ECF and beyond....IF certain things happen ( such as DRose being more injured than we thought ) that fall into our favor. Once any Team makes it to the ECF....anything can happen.
